Surprisingly a lot of people i speak to think the PHP website is just about downloading and looking up the manual and now distros with package managers are taking care of the downloading aspect now for the people who don't want to compile their own source so it's really just manual lookup. Also IDE's are taking care of the Intellisense auto-complete functionality for API so people use the manual less and less. All the different parts of the PHP network need to be summarised and displayed on the PHP.net homepage to keep the fire burning. </brain_dump> Cheers. Paul. > -- > </Daniel P.
